Celtic are a bigger club than Tottenham, says Darren Bent, who believes former side can do better than Ange Postecoglou

Darren Bent might have upset a few fans of his old side Tottenham by claiming Celtic are a bigger club.

The discussion came amid news that Spurs have identified the Scottish champions' manager, Ange Postecoglou, as a leading candidate for their head coach vacancy.

talkSPORT understands that the Greek-Australian is now in chairman Daniel Levy’s sights to replace Antonio Conte as the north London side’s next full-time manager.

But whether it’s the right move for the coach and the club is up for debate.

Bent played at White Hart Lane between 2007 and 2009 and scored 18 times on the way to becoming a member of the Premier League’s 100-goal club.

However, the talkSPORT host suggested Postecoglou would be joining a smaller club even if he is making a move up in the world of management.

“Yeah of course it is a step up, but which is the bigger club? Celtic,” he said.

“They’ve won the European Cup so I’d probably say Celtic are the bigger club, they have a bigger fan base.

“With the facilities they’ve got at Spurs the potential is bigger, but I think it’s a risk and for me personally there’s options I’d have ahead of Postecoglou.”

In scenes reminiscent of the summer of 2021, Spurs and Levy again appear to be struggling to nail down a top candidate.

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann and Feyenoord’s Arne Slot were both heavily linked, but dropped out of the running, seeing Postecoglou move up the order.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
